I couldn't think of a good Gold Rush themed pic that wasn't boring or already done, so I figured I'd celebrate the California Gold Rush through a pic that showcases my own pride in my state...in a pinuppy way. Yay bear butt! And of course poppies :) They're my favorite.

The scanner really ate the colors on the flag unfortunately, but hopefully some of you will get to see it in person in the FC art show!

Our local post office is called "Bear Creek" and has a giant painting of two bears fishing. I remember talking to an oldish guy in the queue and saying something like, "This place has nice bears." and he was quite confused for a while, thinking I was talking about all the naked people in the queue.
